Ryne might be able to come back to the Source after all.

One would hope they remember their own lore. Far to many times in game concepts have been forgotten by the main cast to drive a story. For instance, why wouldn't Urianger use white auracite to transfer some of the light from the WoL/WoD to ease the burden? Or for that matter, trap the Light wardens? Because drama. Stupid, stupid drama.

I really hate being a mute character sometimes, if for nothing else than to express my disapproval of how we go about our missions in game.

The saturation of umbral, static aether in the world at the time might have made its manufacture impossible? Or perhaps not enough auricite could have been made to hold the light? Or its umbral nature would have made it not work? Cus otherwise, yeah. The Crystal Tower itself could have just sucked up all the light wardens since its apparently the same as a giant piece of auricite. I choose to believe there was a reason this was not done. And that that reason is locked behind one of Urianger's lectures that we tend to sleep through.
